Posted on April 20, 2023 by Steve

Twenty-three years later, Hollywood has tried again and this time Paramount and Hasbro succeeded in making a film based upon the D&D property with successful; something the overrated Gary Gygax could never do. Now admittedly, I wasn’t seriously onboard because … Continue reading →

Rest In Peace Al Jaffe!

So sad to find out a legend, a word I don’t use lightly, passed but he made it to 102! No Boomer or Gen X upbringing would be complete without Al’s contributions to MAD via his two major contributions: the Fold-in … Continue reading →

Everything Everywhere All at Once: Must See

Posted on April 9, 2023 by Steve

I saw this last Spring and since it kicked ass at the Oscars®, something I find impossible given how the so-called Academy prefers boring-ass shit released between Christmas and MLK Day. You know…Woody Allen’s navel gazing or people in period-piece … Continue reading →

RIP Raquel Welch

Posted on February 19, 2023 by Steve

Mom and Dad Save the World

Posted on December 23, 2022 by Steve

This little-known comedy was part of Jon Lovitz’s short-lived career as a leading actor and I remember it briefly existing via a commercial or print ad. However, it probably tanked for being in the shadow of bigger, more successful Summer … Continue reading →

Posted on December 4, 2022 by Steve

Holy Crap! I’ve finished two books this year! It’s more amazing how I got Detective read entirely within the same year as Guns, Germs & Steel took over a year. I have a quick, serious question for the experts on human learning and … Continue reading →
